...from which General Eisenhower had directed his victorious World War II armies (G.I.s called the square "Eisenhower Platz"), a husky, shirtsleeved man said: "We like him because we remember him from the war-that's why." As President Dwight Eisenhower stood West Point straight, arms spread high and wide above him, an old lady said: "My, he looks better-after being so sick...

Just how much farther Evans will go toward reducing the size of Crane is a matter of wide speculation. His rift with Landa over how to run the company appears healed. If he can overcome the ill will he has generated through the drastic changes in Crane's organization, roughriding Tom Evans may well add Crane to the list of his successes...
